Let’s represent this ratio in a table. The Length of Shanni’s Ribbon (in inches) The Length of Mel’s Ribbon
The Length of the Ribbon Shanni Mel What does each unit on the tape diagram represent? What if each unit on the tape diagram represents 1 inch? What are the lengths of the ribbon? What if each unit represents 3 inches? What are the lengths of the ribbon? Why? If each of the units represents 3 inches, what is the ratio of the length of Shanni’s ribbon to the length of Mel’s ribbon? The Length of the Ribbon Shanni=7 in Mel= 3 in Shanni=21 in Mel= 9 in 7:3
7 : 3 14 : 6 21 : 9 Mathematicians call these ratios equivalent. What do these three ratios have in common? 7 : 3 14 : 6 21 : 9 Mathematicians call these ratios equivalent. What ratios can we say are equivalent to 7:3 ?
Mason and Laney have been running laps together Mason and Laney have been running laps together. The ratio of laps Mason ran to the number of laps Laney ran was 2:3. If Mason ran 4 miles, how far did Laney run. Use a tape diagram to find this answer. =4miles 2 2 Mason = Laney
Mason and Laney have been running laps together Mason and Laney have been running laps together. The ratio of laps Mason ran to the number of laps Laney ran was 2:3. If Laney ran 930 meters how far did Mason run? Use the tape diagram to find the answer. = Mason =930meters 310 310 310 Laney
What ratios can we say are equivalent to 2:3
